Ah. So basically, it’s just plain ol’ illegal spy on US citizens by way of “national security”.
I stand by my statement that the NFL is thinly-veiled if not overt bigotry in the name of National spending-a-lot-of-money-without-oversight.
ETA,
The FBI’s saying people on the NFL are to dangerous to let on a plane is a damned stupid excuse. If they’re too dangerous to be on a plane, how are they simultaneously not too dangerous to allow to pilot a 1500 pound, explosive-filled, self-propelled landmine? If you’re too dangerous to let on a plane, then pretty much by default you’re too dangerous to allow to drive. Unless the FBI is playing chicken with the American public on the line, which I wouldn’t put it past them.
